A positive guaiac test indicates the presence of blood in the stool, which can be an indicator of various gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers, hemorrhoids, or colorectal cancer. Further evaluation is needed to determine the cause of the blood in the stool.
Fecalysis is a broader test that examines the overall composition of the stool, including looking for signs of infection or inflammation. Ova and parasite tests specifically target and identify parasitic infections in the stool. The choice of test depends on the suspected condition and the healthcare provider's assessment of the patient's symptoms.
GWAY-ak refers to a type of antibody that can be tested for in the stool to detect gastrointestinal infections caused by certain bacteria like Campylobacter jejuni. A positive result indicates the presence of antibodies against this bacteria in the stool sample, suggesting an active infection that may be causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Further evaluation and treatment may be needed based on these test results.
One common method is the Fehling's test, which involves adding Fehling's solution to the stool sample and observing for a color change indicating the presence of reducing substances. Another method is the Benedict's test, which works on a similar principle as the Fehling's test. Additionally, Clinitest tablets can also be used to detect reducing substances in stool samples.
The purpose of the ova and parasites test is to detect the presence of parasites or their eggs in a person's stool sample. This test helps diagnose parasitic infections that can affect the gastrointestinal tract and cause symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Treatment can then be initiated based on the results of the test.

A fecal occult blood test would typically be used to detect the presence of blood in the stool, including melena. This test checks for hidden blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye, and can help identify gastrointestinal bleeding.
Stool culture is a test to identify bacteria in patients with a suspected infection of the digestive tract.

Stool DR stands for Stool Direct Microscopy, which involves examining stool samples for parasites, while CS stands for Cyst and Trophozoite, which is the test used to identify different forms of parasites in a stool sample.
